Recently, I finally decided to give BC another try after some very trying past experiences. I also "upgraded" to v4.2.1 and have worked with this version for a few weeks. Last night I opened BC to put the finishing touches on some routes. After completing everything, I clicked the icon to send it to my GPS (Garmin 2730, old yes, but I love it) and BC shut down. I tried this several more times with the same result. "Uh oh!" I removed and reinstalled BC, but it still shuts down when attempting to send routes to the unit.

Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?

Can you see the 2730 in Mass Storage Mode? Do drive letters show up in Explorer/Finder?

If so, have you tried exporting the routes to a gpx file then just putting that into the right place in the 2730?

Have you seen this page which describes the two different modes the 2730 series can have?

"Garmin Mode is used when updating operating software, updating mapping, or transferring information to or from MapSource or BaseCamp."

"The motorcycle, being poorly designed for both flight and marine operation, sustained significant external and internal damage," police noted.

I loaded my converted maps into Basecamp. I was also able to import all my old tracks, routes and waypoints. I built my first multi-day trip and loaded it into my 60CSx - no problem. When you convert your maps, you have to use a separate program to send them to your GPS (Mapinstall). You can't send your detailed maps to the GPS from Basecamp. See instructions above.

I exported my trip to Google Earth and saved it as a jpg for your viewing pleasure.

FYI: Everybody gets to use Mapinstall to load their maps now. Not only those who convert maps.

I was wrong - the Mac version is also updated, but Basecamp itself doesn't offer the update - you have to go here.

There is an issue with custom activities and recalculation of routes in this release, basically it's broken. If you're using custom activities in "what if" fashion, maybe give this one a pass.

The Mac or Windows version? Or both?

I thought I would give Base Camp a try, finally beeing able to ditch my Virtual PC with Windows XP to just use Mac OSX.
However, even in version 4.2.2 I can't get a hit on any adress that I search for, it just thinks for 20 sekonds and then nothing. Isn't anyone using BaseCamp at Garmin?
I figured searching for an adress was a quite basic function for a mapping application.

It usually helps if you just search for the city first and then do the address search. Note also there is usually a limit set that defaults to 500 miles. But 4.2.1 was much better than the previous iterations. Haven't done any searches in 4.2.2 yet.

An issue I've encountered is that when I work on a duplicate track in one "list," changes or deletions that I make to the duplicate can often occur as well in the original. Fortunately, I export lists to retain copies, and can go back and get the original track.

Typically what I experience is that deleting a duplicate track from one list can delete it from the original list.

Apparently BC shares the data, so there can be a ripple effect. Doesn't happen every time when I make a duplicate and work on it, but enough times to be aggravating.
